I have always been a fan of MO and thanks god I made it to another MO property (which has long been on my bucket list) earlier this year. I visited Beijing for work this February and stayed over for a weekend at the gorgeous Mandarin Oriental, Wangfujing. Mandarin Oriental, Wangfujing was located in central Beijing and surrounded by an unique historical atmosphere – you couldn’t only call the location prime, I mean it was indeed like no others (the Forbidden City was constructed in the 1400s, and was the former Chinese imperial palace,)

I was obsessed with the Mandarin Oriental, Wangfujing in many ways and in particular, the perfect balance of contemporary aesthetics and traditional Chinese décor. The interior spoke a lot of the hotel, the location and the city itself. I also checked out its restaurants, the Café Zi for some traditional Chinese food and the MO Bar for drinks. Check out more of my captures below!

 Another hotel we stayed during our recent Bangkok trip was the Madi Paidi Bangkok, Autograph Collection. While I always enjoyed staying at the traditional luxury hotels (for the service, location and usually a wider range of restaurant offerings), it was also interesting to explore the local and experience some boutique hotels. The autograph collection is therefore one of my go to brands for more unique vacation experience.

The Madi Paidi Bangkok, Autograph Collection was a very new hotel opened (freshly) late last year. Located in the vibrant Thong Lor district, it was also close to a lot of trendy clubs, bars, restaurants and shops. I love their rooftop pool a lot, it was not big but felt so private and intimate, with a beautiful skyline. 

We also enjoyed their breakfast a lot- it was “order to table” style and got such nice presentation. They also served really nice fruit at breakfast (it was Thailand I know but they still tasted so so good!)

Just had an Easter weekned trip to Bangkok for vacation and we stayed at the W Bangkok. You know a vacation with friends is always meant to be party, have fun and mess around- the W Bangkok was such perfect destination. It was fun and vibrant and all the staff was very friendly. We spent quite some time at the stylish rooftop WET Pool and enjoyed the sunshine. We also had a dinner and drinks at the classy heritage architecture – The House on Sathorn. It was a “neo-classical structure dating from 1889 functioned first as private residence, by the 1920s had become a hotel, then later from mid-century to 1999 served as site of the Russian embassy”. We were so amazed by the beautiful design and the dinner was nice too!
